Atkinson claims 15 total offers, six being from SEC schools. (247Sports)

It appears Auburn is in good shape with Langston Hughes linebacker/safety Montavious Atkinson of Fairburn, Ga.

He picked up an offer from the Tigers last month and told 247Sports on Wednesday Auburn is "No. 1."

"That's been the school I've been talking about," Atkinson told 247Sports after his visit to the Plains with teammate D'Andre Walker, who also holds an offer. "That's really the dream school."

Atkinson claims 15 total offers, including Mississippi State, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, UCLA, USC and Virginia Tech. He said the Tigers have been recruiting him consistently and he hears from the staff once or twice a week.

When asked what stands out about Auburn, Atkinson said, "They put education first before they talk about football. And then, their fans. Those fans are outrageous."

Atkinson attended the Mississippi State game and the Iron Bowl last season, which both had dramatic finishes.

The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder is rated as a three-star prospect and the nation's No. 24 inside linebacker prospect by the 247Sports Composite.
